U+108EF "𐣯" Hatran Letter Ayn is a letter from the Hatran alphabet, which was used to write the Hatran language, a Middle Aramaic dialect spoken in the ancient city of Hatra in what is now northern Iraq. This character represents the pharyngeal fricative sound equivalent to the Semitic letter "ayin" and is part of the Unicode block for Hatran script, which was added to the Unicode Standard in 2015 as part of version 8.0. The script was inscribed on stone monuments and other artifacts from the 2nd to 3rd centuries CE, and the inclusion of this letter in Unicode helps preserve and digitally encode the historical writing system of the region.
